Description

The New World Order in Action, Vol. 1: Globalization, the Brexit Revolution and the Left (Post Election)

This is the first of a three-volume major project which aims to cover all aspects of the New World Order (NWO) of neoliberal globalization, with its effort at full integration of every country in the world into this new order. The phasing out of economic and national sovereignty implied by this process has led to a global popular movement for sovereignty, i.e. self-determination and against globalization.

The rise of the NWO and the role of the Transnational Elite, that is, the network of the economic and political elites which administers it, are examined in the first volume. Furthermore, the mythology used by the elites as well as by the globalist “Left” is examined.

It was the full integration of the Left into the new order, which has led to its political bankruptcy and the rise of a neo-nationalist movement, embraced by most of the victims of globalization and particularly the working class that used to support the Left. The need for a struggle for national as well as social liberation has become imperative today.

In the following volumes it will be shown how the use of economic and military violence in the Middle East and Europe was successfully used for the full integration into the NWO of Iraq, Libya, Syria, as well as Ukraine and Greece.

Reviews

“The New World Order in Action ranks with Karl Polanyi’s The Great Transformation as essential reading for understanding the evolution of our dominant institutions. But where Polanyi’s book comes closer to helping us understand their origins, Fotopoulos treats the most recent stage in the consolation and expansion of transnational elite power. What role do the BRICS countries play in this New World Order? What led to the crisis in Greece? How do we understand the Transatlantic Pact and the other most recent trade agreements in helping us contemplate the future of this new order? Fotopoulos addresses all of these questions and more. Most significantly, he reveals how the manufactured war on Islamic terror functions as an instrument of the same neoliberal globalization that effected the 2014 CIA-inspired coup in Ukraine and that continues to wage an economic war on Russia that threatens us all with the predictable and possibly nuclear consequences of a third world war. In essence, this book helps us recognize the ominous connections across all of the major events of our day.”—David Gabbard, Professor, Boise State University

“Takis Fotopoulos is among the most important voices on the left today. We ignore his formidable analysis of contemporary geopolitics in The New World Order in Action at our own peril. A must read for all those who are seeking ways to challenge the terror of neoliberal capitalism.”—Peter McLaren, Distinguished Professor in Critical Studies Co-Director, The Paulo Freire Democratic Project College of Education, Chapman University

“I would like to express my total agreement with the central thesis of the book that it was the intellectual failure of the Left to grasp the real significance of neoliberal globalization that led to its political bankruptcy. The inevitable consequence was the rise of a neo-nationalist movement in Europe, which is embraced by most of the victims of globalization, particularly the working class that used to support the Left.”—Arran Gare, Professor in the Faculty of Life and Social Sciences at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia

“Takis Fotopoulos is one of the most expansive, tireless militants of the new global Left, reinvigorating and carrying forward the neglected currents of emancipatory socialism into a 21st century in desperate need of them.”—Dr. Chamsy el-Ojeili, Lecturer, Sociology, School of Social and Cultural Studies, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand

Edward A. Whitney is a researcher who specializes in global affairs. In 1990, intrigued by President George H.W. Bush’s frequent mention of the “New World Order,” he began an in-depth study of that subject and its many ramifications. In pursuit of information on this vitally important subject, Mr. Whitney has read several hundred books and several thousand newspaper and magazine articles by authors on every side of the political spectrum.

Each piece of information was evaluated as to reliability of the source and as to consistency with other known data, the same process that is used by intelligence analysts.

The large amount of information obtained in this lengthy search was organized into a database, with separate pages for each individual, organization and the events involved. From this data came a chronology of key events, cross-references, various lists and, finally, this book.

The main purpose of this book is to inform the public about recent events, especially the evil things done in secret by the promoters of the New World Order in their quest for global governance and world domination.
